Challenge #73-""Angel Wings"

I look forward to having a number of entries this week as the challenge is "Angel Wings".  You may do anything  you wish as long as you show wings (or a wing) on your entry.

 

Vicki

I decided to make  a tag for the first week of this challenge.  The background is airbrushed with Copic Markers.  The cute little girl with wings is by B-Line stamps.  She seems to be looking for her wings when they are actually on her back.  This is something I seem to do all the time.  I look for something that is right where it is suppose to be.

I had no idea what to do for the challenge but had this image already coloured in my stash, I also found the believe metal tag in my stash. The background is a butterfly embossing folder. I then added some stickles to the wings. This will make a nice surprise for my friend that is going through Chemo.

Angle wings ... truly tiny but very sparkly for a Cameo Lady. It is layered on patterend paper and lace adorned with a Mulberry flower and a little metal charm.

I love working with angels and wings so this challenge is a wonderful one for me.  I started with cardstock which I'd spritzed with watercolor inks.  Then I used a Technique Junkies newsletter tutorial technique called "washi weave."  My stamp is from the Character Constructions company and the quote is something i typed and printed then tore and distressed.  I added a few other goodies to round things out.  I hope you will be inspired to join this challenge.

I stamped an Anita angel stamp twice on the sheet music background. The Rubber Stampede 'angel collage' was stamped separated with the edges torn. All colouring with copics.

I am really thrilled to have Michelle Perkett as the sponsor of this challenge.  She creates some beautiful images.  Take a look and see what she has to offer.

Reminder for JSL Challenge

This is a reminder for Just Some Lines' "Anything Halloween".  The challenge is in its second week of the challenge.  You still have a little time to enter.  Below is my inspiration for the challenge.

My little card is a 6 x 6 square one. with many layers.  I beieve there are 6 layers not counting the matting for each layer. All these layers really made a sturdy card and it gave me a chance to use up of  my Halloween paper scraps.  The little girl in her devil costume was colored with Copics. 

Don't forget to put in your entry to the challenge.

Back to School

It is Back to School time at Just Some Lines.  This is the theme of their current challenge.  Below is a card I made for inspiration for those who may be interested in entering the challenge.

My card uses one of the new images at Just Some Lines.  The apple is colored with Copic Markers.  The apple is placed on a white mat to contrast it with the colors in the background.  As an accent I used a ribbon that is made to look like a tape measure.  I thought that the ribbon added to the schooltime theme.

Summer Colors in Layers

This card has a multi-purpose post.  Firstly, I made this card for Just Some Lines for their "Layers" challenge.  The image is Just Some Lines' Girl in a Big Hat which is colored with bright Copic colors.

Secondly, I made this for Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge of "Hot Summer Colors".  The background uses a blue Cheery Lynn Designs  Lattice die for the background.  On top of that is the Canadian Kaleidoscope Doily die which was not cut  out completely, but is embossed.  The silver die on top of that is another Canadian Kaleidoscope Doily die  which has been cut out completely.  Also the center was removed to be used on another project.  This die was placed a little offset from the one below.   I love being able to use the parts of the CLD diecut as well as the whole diecut. 

Thirdly, I am entering my card in the Classy Cards and Such challenge CCNS #13 "Dies".  Beverly at Classy Cards and Such carries all the Cheery Lynn Design dies as well as those of other companies and many other supplies.

Challenge #36 - "Happy Birthday"

This post will stay at the top as long as the challenge is running.  Please scroll down to see more current posts.

Is it your birthday?  It is not mine; nor do I think it is one of my team member's.  However, you always need to have a birthday card on hand to send when a friend has a birthday.  Therefore, we are going to help you out by asking you to make a birthday card for the challenge this time.  It can be a classy card, a funny card or even a belated birthday card.  Just think by entering this challenge you will be prepared for the next birthday.

Oops!  I just found out it is Michele's birthday.  She is one of my DT members.  So Happy Birthday Michele.  Consider all the entries in this challenge your birthday cards!

Vicki

My birthday uses one of the Clear Dollar Stamps' digital stamps.  I colored my basket image with Copic markers,  I used an bought flower embellishmnent and attached a button as the center.  For my "Celebrate" sentiment, I attached an acrylic sentiment.

I am also entering this in  The Crafty Pad's challenge "B".

I made this birthday card for my April baby, my daughter Cassidy. She'll be 17 on April 22. I love this set from Clear Dollar Stamps with the daisies, the script, and several words stamps including "April" - small nymph digi image is from Michelle Perkett Studio.

I've used a fantastic Eclectic Cat Design from Clear Dollar Stamps to make this "bright" Birthday Card along with a matching sentiment. The "splotchy" background paper was made with crayon shavings & greaseproof paper. Happy Birthday!!!

Hello you all, Valerie here. I have made a birthday card using a lovely stamp, but I don't know who made it! I have made it for a little girl who loves blue and bling, so think this should be ideal. After stamping, I coloured her with water-colour pencils. I added matching ribbon to her dress and the parcel, and some lace to the hem of her dress.

What a fun theme for this challenge! Birthday cards are always on my "To Do" creative list, so it was a delight to select some lovely digital images from our sponsor, Clear Dollar Stamps.

For my birthday card, I chose the "Teariffic" set. Usually when I work with digis, I use watercolor pencils and my waterpen. But it was time to change it up! To color this card, I used acetate and alcohol inks and I love the glossy look of it. The rose in the upper right is lifted off the card with foam tape. I added stitching, lace and pearls to complete the dainty details.

Petra

A Little Birthday Ornament - I love such little ornaments because they can always be used as toppers for cards or added to presents or boxes or .... The focal point a lovely little Pansy, a digital image from this month's sponsor 'Clear Dollar Stamps' which I coloured with Copics and then 'fuzzy' cut. The frame is cut in several layers with a Tim Holtz Alteration diecut. The final embellishments are a stamped sentiment from Elzybells, some blings and a little bow. Happy Birthday to everyone!

Michele

The Clear Dollar Stamp "Patchwork" sentiments digis called for the Technique Junkies "Patchwork" technique!  I did the patchwork design on the digi and then used some festive designer paper as a background.  And as it turns out it IS my birthday -- or it was on the 12th.  Me and Abe Lincoln.  Hope you'll join the challenge.

Clear Dollar Stamps has graciously offered to be my sponsor this time.  They have a great choice of clear and digitals stamps.  Many of them have multiple messages along with the image to give you a choice of sentiments.  To the winner, who will be selected by random generator, goes a $15.00 gift code for purchases on the site.  This is a great prize so let's sing "Happy Birthday".
